Zločini Nezavisne Države Hrvatske u bihaćkom kraju tokom 1941. godine

Abstract

Nekoliko dana od početka invazije na Jugoslaviju, osniva se Nezavisna Država Hrvatska. Klјučna osoba u stvaranju organa vlasti NDH u Bosanskoj Krajini je Viktor Gutić. Polovinom juna u Bihać, kao veliki župan Velike župe Krbava i Psat, dolazi Ljubomir Kvaternik, organizator i predvodnik zločina nad srpskim i jevrejskim živlјem. U radu su kroz vremensku liniju prikazani svi zločini počinjeni nad Srbima i malobrojnim Jevrejima: oduzimanje zemlјe i imovine dobrovolјcima, konfiskacije radnji trgovaca i zanatlija, hapšenja i zatvaranja, plјačkanje imovine i ucenjivanje imućnih žitelјa, pokatoličavanje, rad Prijekog suda za Veliku župu, organizovano i sistematsko iselјavanje srpskog i jevrejskog živlјa Bihaća, uništavanje verskih spomenika Srba i Jevreja, hapšenja vojnosposobnog stanovništva u naselјima u okolini Bihaća, masovna strelјanja u Bihaćkom polјu (Garavice, Ulјevite bare, Ceravci) kao i zločini na velikom broju drugih stratišta. Nakon početka oružanog otpora nastaju odmazde nad civilnim živlјem. Zločini u bihaćkom kraju bili su organizovani ranije, masovnije i surovije u odnosu na druge delove NDH, jer je Bihać bio središte velike oblasti većinski naselјene Srbima.

A few days after the invasion of Yugoslavia, the Independent State of Croatia (NDH) was founded. The key person in the creation of the NDH authorities in Bosnian Krajina is Viktor Gutić. In mid-June, Ljubomir Kvaternik, the organizer and leader of crimes against Serbs and Jews, comes to Bihać as the Grand Prefect of Krbava and Psat. The work presents a timeline of all the crimes committed against Serbs and a small number of Jews: confiscation of land and property from volunteers, confiscation of merchants' and artisans' shops, arrests and imprisonment, looting of property and blackmailing of wealthy residents, conversion to Catholicism, the work of the Special Court for Velika župa, organized and the systematic emigration of the Serbian and Jewish population of Bihać, the destruction of religious monuments of Serbs and Jews, the arrest of the military-capable population in the settlements around Bihać, mass shootings in the Bihać field (Garavice, Uljevite bare, Ceravci) as well as crimes at a large number of other execution sites. After the beginning of the armed resistance, there are reprisals against civilian life. Crimes in the Bihać region were organized earlier, more massively and cruelly than in other parts of the NDH because Bihać was the center of a large area mostly inhabited by Serbs.
